Ventoy

Today I got introduced to a nice little utility called Ventoy (http://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html) that allow you to use the same USB stick as a bootable media for different OS ISOs. 

Here is where I heard this from and a little video showing you how it works.

Re-enable smb1

I have just upgraded my Linux desktop to 20.04LTS, and I can any immediate major issues/bugs.

Most modern OSes have disabled support to SMB1 by default due to known security issues.  It is all good if you don't have any legacy devices.  If you are like myself who still have one of these legacy device, you may need to re-enable the smb1 support.

To re-enable smb1 support, you need to edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the line below to its [global] section.


client min protocol = NT1

Vulkan API

I have recently been told about this repository which helps to add Vulkan support to your Ubuntu installed.  I must say I don't know how much difference it make to my install, but I guess it also does no harm.
